| 18th - early 19th centuryRenaissance took its rise in Italy where the Grecian ornament had influenced Roman and early Italian art. Wood-workers of Venice struck out sometimes grotesque carvings. In addition to walnut the Venetian cabinet-makers used other woods as the groundwork for their inlays and veneering like willow, sycamore and lime. In Milan brown walnut was frequently inlaid with ivory and bone by a process known as certosina. ebony and ebonised woods, inlaid with ivory, produced many remarkable effects. The beautiful Florentine folding chair of X-like form was the forerunner of state chairs. Antique Italian marble coffee tables enjoyed a surge throughout Europe and America in the mid-late 1800's. | ||
